Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) “Wayne Rooneys Derby County." "Oh, I didn't know he was the manager,Sir" "He isn't" "Who is?" "Truth be told,Stubbs, I have no idea. But it's Wayne Rooneys Derby isn't it" "If you say so,Sir” “What a remarkable talent he’s been Stubbs. Superb player. The sort we bemoan we never produce. What a career! All time Manchester United top scorer. All time England Top scorer. Captained both. Five league titles. Two FA cups. Three League Cups. The European Cup-“ “The Champions League,Sir” “It’s the bloody European Cup,Stubbs! Don't bloody Champions League me! You don’t even have to be Champions to get in the sodding thing! They should be done under the trades descriptions act" "Indeed,Sir” “That World thingy one, you know, that no one is bothered about. He’s done the lot. And yet. Yet…somehow he’s not held in the same light as others. Even though he’s achieved more. Never held really in the esteem he should be really. But why?” “His indiscretions with ladies of the night perhaps?” “No. I don’t think people are bothered about that are they? Makes him more relatable to lots of chaps I'd have thought. Have you looked around a football ground on a match day,Stubbs? I'd be surprised if most of them didn't have to pay for it. Blimey what a collection of faces. No I doubt that would put off your average fan “Some will be,Sir. Even amongst some of the gurning faces that glower out of the stands there will be some who frown upon the fact he deceived his wife.” ” “Yes, but look at Beckham! He was bonking that Nanny, you know, the one who w*nked a pig off on TV, and it hasn’t done him any harm" "Loos, Sir" "Yes, she sounded it." "No Sir, Rebecca Loos" "Oh. Oh I see,yes. Still, the point stands, didn't do old Golden B0llocks career much harm” “David Beckham is handsome though,Sir” “What’s that got to do with it?” “Everything,Sir. We live in a world which is completely obsessed by looks. Peoples value is judged by the physical form and the aesthetic rather than any genuine talent. There's an artificiality which pervades the way in which people are judged in modern society.” "But not in football,Stubbs. People know a player when they see one." "Of course it happens in football,Sir. More so, because in football a good player is marketed better. Is promoted better and sponsored better." " "But a mans beauty is in being a man,Stubbs!" "I'm not so sure that is true in this day and age,Sir. In fact I would suggest there's a generation of boys who struggle to understand with the changing boundaries, and constant contradiction of expectation, exactly what it is to be a man. I think that's why we so many problems with mental health in young men-They don't know what it is to be a man. How to be a man. And adversely, when they do try and do manly things without genuine role models and guidance we see the fake machismo which leads to a type of false masculinity which is completely over the top and at times dangerous, both physically and mentally to themselves and to others." "Crikey" "I'd go as far as to say that appearance standards have escalated so alarmingly in recent decades, especially via the growth of digital media, and airbrushing techniques and filters- that the same appearance standards are now shared across the world, reducing further the diversity that used to be celebrated among different cultures, never mind different sexes." "I say. Bit heavy this,Stubbs. Bit rummy for this time of night. We're meant to be a lighthearted take on things! Have we changed writers?" "No,Sir. My apologies,Sir" "Well, I should think so. And anyway, I still don't believe people can't see past the vacuous world of looking nice above talent. Surely to God. I know one thing. I don't when I judge a player.” “Well I very much do think people do,Sir. Or least a combination of looks and talent. A venn-diagram of success on and off the pitch you might say. And Rooney, for all his undoubted skill, record breaking goals- for club and country; will never get the plaudits his undoubted talents certainly deserve because, well; he's got a head like a furry potato” "Well I for one still can't wait to see him in action!" "Who will be marking him tomorrow,Sir?" "Well I hope Hutchinson makes his return to do the job personally. Magnificent jaw line, lovely teeth and such wonderful, wonderful hair" --------------------------------- WEDNESDAY -V- DERBY COUNTY ----------------------------------------- Wednesday 29th February Kick off : 15:00pm Owlerton THE TEAM NEWS --------------------------------- SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY Wednesday Boss Garry Monk is likely to recall striker Steven Fletcher to the line up for his first start since January after coming off the bench to grab the winner against Charlton.

Morepork Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Last time out we showed some decent levels of endeavor, albeit against a very average Charlton team. As s a fixture it was probably always more about the result and showing the right attitude. To move forward we absolutely must build on that result and the return of the inspirational Fletch. That said.......I'd take a draw to be fair so long as we show fight. Edited February 29, 2020 by Morepork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Awesome as always, BUT, I just want to say, fair play for bringing up the mental health sh*t and how difficult it is these days to be a bloke. Not for me, mind, I mean, I'm already insane and couldn't give a monkeys c*nt about anything, but, it's stuff I worry about my lad with. So cheer Snoots me ol mucker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. My role models were people like Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Sean Connery and maybe that bloke from Airwolf. The kind of manly men who would look through the window, see a storm coming, and hold you tight against their masculine, hirsute chest. Then they'd make you a nutritious broth and tell you things were gonna be ok. Proper role models. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The the pleasure of a kids party this afternoon and every year I seem to follow this fixture at the same child’s party and every year it’s a case of disappointment. Hopefully this will change today. Battered them last time out and came away with a point! Time we broke the curse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
